Q1. Find the area of triangle with vertices ( 1 ,1 ) , (2 ,2 ) and ( 3, 3 ).
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

AREA OF TRIANGLE=  

That is C1 and C2 are identical

so value of determinant =0

hence area of triangle =0


Q2. Find the area of triangle with vertices ( 0 ,0 ),(4 , 2) and ( 1,1).
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q3. A(adj A) is equal to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Since, we know that


pre multiply by A,


      (since AA-1=)


Q4. The inverse of the matrix A = 
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:



Q5. If A and B are invertible matrices of order 3 , then det(adj A) =
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let A be a non singular square matrix of order n then 

det(adjA)=|A|n-1 

here order is 3 so det(adj A)=|A|3-1=|A|2


Q6. If A is a square matrix of order 2 , then det (adj A) =
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let A be a square matrix of order 2 then , because  where n is the order of square matrix.

Q7. If A is a non singular matrix of order 3 , then  =
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

If A is anon singular matrix of order , then 
Q8. If  is the identity matrix of order 3 , then  is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Because , the inverse of an identity matrix is an identity matrix itself.
